Sleepy baby-5 week- Normal?
« on: January 07, 2007, 03:25:11 am »
My 5 week old has been resisting her naps and has not been a good night sleeper.  I implemented the EASY program about 5 days ago.  I don't know if I finally hit a breakthrough or if there is something wrong with my baby.  Today, she took all of her naps with zero fuss.  1st nap was 1hr 30 min, 2nd nap was 2 hr, 3rd nap was 1hr 40 min (she would have slept longer if I let her).  Her play time before nap 1 and 2 was 1 hour and 30 min for nap 3.  She then proceeded to have a catnap after her 5:00 feeding.  In fact, she did not want to get up from it! She slept for the first time 4 hours yesterday from 7-12 and did really well with her night sleeping. Has she finally conformed to EASY or is this something I should be concerned about?

I don't think there is anything wrong and as far as I can remember, I let #2 sleep as much as she wanted to for naps (which wasn't long unfortunately unless she was carried around by me  :P). Her bedtime was extremely early as well (around 5/5.30pm) and I would at times wake her up at 7am, otherwise she would go longer. She was a very sleepy baby and I remember thinking that there was something wrong with her. I even took her to a ped (paranoia on my behalf). This changed about 1 month ago, when I finally was able to push bedtime to 6.30pm. She is still on 3 naps (with no interest in dropping the catnap) and still wants to go to bed that early.

You're lo sounds like an angel!

Lol... Thanks!  I wish she was an Angel.  Until yesterday, she was a Spirited baby.  I still think she is as she never wants to stay in her dirty diaper and lets me know it.  I guess I should just enjoy this while it lasts!
